Best Of Friends with Kamila Shamsie

Hey Bookends! We are thrilled to be bringing you our October book club episode where we chat to the absolute powerhouse that is Kamila Shamsie, about her latest novel 'Best Of Friends', which we cannot recommend enough. We spoke about childhood friendship, our standpoints on dog-earing book pages, class division and politics in Pakistan and London, the concept of 'girl-fear' and much more. It was a really insightful conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
